What is the spiritual meaning behind teeth problems? This
question has been swirling around my head recently, after having some dental
issues and giving palmistry talks on digestion over the weekend.

It’s amazing how much our teeth and jaw health impact our appetite for food (and
life). What we take in through our mouths literally becomes us, so any trouble
with our teeth limits our ability to grow and become larger than our
problems.

This whole shebang started when I went to my friend Sally's place
to do a workshop. There I was, talking about self-healing, when I bit into a
raw food ball (I love them!) and broke a tooth on an almond. As I clutched my mouth, I heard a
little voice say ‘stop biting off more than you can chew!’ and had to laugh.
This was the third time I’d chipped a tooth on an almond. Being a psychic, I
knew this wasn’t a coincidence, but evidence of a deeper cry for healing.

Thus began a series of events, including:
-trips to the dentist to get a filling,

-flashbacks about having braces. Between 7 and 16 years old
I had more than a dozen extractions and started grinding my teeth because I
felt no one listened to me.
-kinesiology treatment to treat the emotional cause. I’ve often wondered if I
died by almonds (cyanide) in a previous life. Sure enough, within minutes of
lying on the table, I saw and felt myself dying in a gas chamber. I started to
gasp for air and my eyes swelled close and stung as if I was going blind. My
vision only returned to normal once I forgave the people who killed me (i.e.
once I saw the big picture and that love is the only way forward).

So what’s the moral of the story? Take your body seriously. If you have a
recurring health problem, Google or look up the metaphysical meaning. The only way our
body can get our attention (if we don’t talk to it through meditation) is to
create pain. It’s like a baby – it can only cry to get our attention, and it
needs our help to get better.

Here’s the metaphysical explanation of teeth issues,
based on my personal experience. I’m assuming you are living in a Western country
with access to health care as I write this:

Tooth decay (through irregular brushing or poor diet)
Meaning: You find it hard to stick to routine and refuse to or don’t know how
to look after your long-term needs. You mistrust authority, including your
own.

Problems created: Loss of teeth and self-confidence. A
feeling of avoiding the truth.

Solutions: This is a root and solar plexus chakra issue. You are disconnected
from life. Without teeth you cannot eat or live, so allowing your teeth to rot
is a sign you give your power away. It’s time to make peace with your
pricelessness. Find your life purpose and the courage to walk it. You cannot be
replaced and you deserve to be here. Spend more time outdoors and with people
who love you no matter what.

Grinding your teeth

Meaning: You’re angry at not being able or allowed to communicate, be
heard or speak up.

Problems created: Weakened teeth, headaches, a stiff neck,
limited bite, lack of appetite from tension in your jaw. ‘Grinders’ favour
liquid over solid food because they find chewing difficult. This can be a
metaphor for a life half-lived!

Solutions: This is a throat chakra issue. It’s time to make your thoughts
known. Write a diary, learn public speaking or take up singing and chanting
(Deva Premal, Snatam Kaur). Listen to yourself and make your inner voice strong
through quiet time alone. Read The Artists’ Way. Tell your inner critic to shut up! Have jaw release work. Use
hypnosis to train your face to relax.

Problems created: People don’t want to get close to you, you feel unattractive,
bad breath is often a sign of tooth decay (see above).

Solutions: This is a heart chakra issue. Breathe more
deeply. You deserve love as much as anyone else. Listen to the beat of your
heart, and only help when you want to. To do otherwise is to train others to
exploit you. Get out of your comfort zone, take up a hobby or go on a holiday.
You may also be hungry or dehydrated – keep a jug of non-fluoridated water in the
bathroom and drink a cup whenever you go to the toilet.

Not chewing food properly - 'Hoovering food'

Meaning: You’re in a hurry to get through life, and
can’t see the point of following a process. You’re goal and future focused. Problems created: Overeating, bloating, gas, indigestion and later-life
digestive complaints. A sense of never being full or satisfied (because your body doesn’t
register that you’ve eaten). Impatience - you want to do things quickly, even
losing weight. Solutions: This is a third eye chakra issue. When we can see the big picture, we stop
trying to cut corners. One case of cancer costs AU$50,000-100,000 to treat.
That’s a lot of massages and nice meals you could have enjoyed. There is no
shortcut to happiness, or weight loss (see this blog). Happiness comes from
being with yourself right now, and loving your wobble. Consider sitting down
for meals, eating with friends, and blessing your food before eating.

Make it
sacred – the way you eat is the way you live, after all!

health, book a psychic reading with me in person or over the phone.

Thanks for posting this Sarah. I have a client who has had many teeth abscesses and we have made great progress except for 1 tooth on the upper right jaw (on the lung and L Iintestine meridian)that keeps getting infections despite using herbals and clay packs to detox. I am going to do a bit of Emotional Release work around self-value and taking the power back I think.
Wishing you well

"Find your life purpose and the courage to walk it. You cannot be replaced and you deserve to be here. Spend more time outdoors and with people who love you no matter what."
Wow, so recently I have change in this area, life path (saturn return vibes too - almost 30 :)
After a comprehensive dentist visit a few months ago,
I was surprised to find such sensitivity on a tooth recently...
I just had to google right now for the deeper meaning here :) Many thanks to you for that explanation and reminder ; thank you from my body also ;):)

Dear Serene, it's super lovely to hear from you. Sounds like you could be a lifepath 29/11 like me (see my numerology basics page) or something similar...at our lifepath age we have massive wakeup calls. Glad to hear from you and thank you for your positive feedback. Blessings x

I must say the blog post is just useful for everyone else reading it because the information and knowledge it contains is very important. I like the post! Excellent job! Keep sharing such valuable information through your blogs.!!

This is just what I have already been researching in many websites and also My spouse and i ultimately located the idea below. Amazing content. My business is so amazed. Could possibly certainly not think about a really thing is possible about it... I believe there is a excellent knowledge specially though purchases having this sort of topics.

Simply brillliant...on my path to being a spiritual teacher or rather a more effective one, I had to stop wonder why my teeth which had never given me a problem for 3 decades started to decay and break in the space of a year....I realise that you do give away my personal power a lot and have been trying to not be so love and light and trust my instinct to show compassion from afar rather than get involved in assisting with the transformation of others. In addition, I realised that I had been a little ungrounded when the tooth decay started and on reading this article, I finally came to terms with my past denial... I can't thank you enough for this. So VERY important!

As someone who is suddenly plagued with multitudes of problems with my teeth, decay in particular, the metaphysical explanations you share make perfect sense, given what has been manifesting in my life since the problems began, poining to the need to self care and self nuture. Thank you so much for your wisdom and insight.

Dear Elisa, thanks for your feedback, I'm glad to be able to assist - you didn't provide an email and I only just saw your comment so not sure you will see my reply. You saved your own life by following your intuition and looking for information to help yourself. Give yourself a big hug and kiss from me :D Good luck in your spiritual adventures xx

Hi. Thanks for posting this. Literally just now I lost a piece of a tooth. It's strange because I have been bad with my diet for a while but for the past few months I've been very good. I was hoping this wouldn't happen because I just made some extra special visits to my dentist to show how much I do care about my teeth and my body. Anyhow, I guess sometimes when we start to make positive changes that's when our bodies also feel safe enough to let go.

Hi Sarah really interesting site. I would be interested to know what the metaphysical meaning of the eye teeth/incisors is as I keep having a recurring problem with both of mine ie they are very sensitive and I have broken one of them. Thank you. Lesley
